State

Even in democratic countries, the state is still on a lower level controlling the information relayed to the public.

The propaganda extolled by the state centers around two main elements: work and love. The individual is told that there is nothing better than working all your life, so that you can afford all these extravagant commodities, of which I would include love in that. Then they are also told by the system that there is one person out there for them, that will complete them and make their lives whole.

The huge multinational corporation that employs forty thousand people worldwide is in itself an oppressive regime, run similarly to how a dictator would run a country. Where you have people, you generally have a small minority making the rules, usually to benefit themselves. Where you have an economic system, you have some form of oppression.

The state can condition you to love what it wants you to love and hate what it wants you to hate.

What the economic system does is promise you your dreams, but only in exchange for your freedom.

You are your economic system.

As the birth rate decreases, the liberty of the individual increases. But the price paid for that is a declining economic system. Thus you cannot have freedom and a prosperous economic system. Prior to the modern capitalistic economic system model that is used, people had what I would say is as close to freedom as one can get.

The only people that possess any sense of freedom, the freedom to do what they want and be who they are, are multi millionaires and criminals. Everyone else is shackled. It is capitalism on an interpersonal level, whereby a small minority get to live life on their terms, fueled by the labour of an imprisoned majority.

Society gets a fever when you try to make it safe and perfect.

Part of the conditioning is that the system imposed on you is marketed as perfect. Whilst simultaneously other systems are flawed. People in China think their country is perfect while the West is flawed. Or people in Muslim countries think their system is perfect as opposed to other systems. You make them buy into one system by making them despise others.

You have to fear the lawmaker as much as the law-breaker. You are at the mercy of the man that makes the laws as much as the man that breaks them. Society focuses on the criminals. It zones in on those that break the law. But about those pulling the strings in power that write the laws? Usually to suit the economic system, which is a nicer way of saying it suits them.

People dismiss these reality tv stars, but these stars are good for society because their fans wish to emulate them, as in to attain wealth and the family unit.

Suggest their dreams and you control them. Decide their future forty years in advance and you own them in the present.

The perfect dictatorship is one where its citizens are dedicated to chasing happiness. 1984 does not work. The people rebel. Brave New World is what any dictator should read.

The laws are set up to benefit the economic system, so that it runs smoothly. Which is a more alluring way of saying it is set up to reward a very small minority. Look at how in the Covid-19 pandemic, those in power were able to magically find billions to pay people who were out of work because of the lockdown. Yet prior to the pandemic, that very same money was nowhere to be found. Why? Why did this money appear? It did because the Covid-19 pandemic hurt the economic system, and if it hurts that, it hurts those in power. Hence, why money suddenly appeared out of thin air. What you have to take from that is that those running the show don't care about anything other than their own self-interests. And as Emma Goldman said a hundred years ago, as long as you have an economic system, you have economic oppression.
